my life, my adventure

Given everything contained within, it’s fitting that Coldplay decided to saddle their new album with two seemingly disparate titles (it’s called Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, in case you weren’t aware). Because if anything, it’s the most bipolar thing they’ve ever done.

“Viva La Vida,” which seems to be sung from the perspective of deposed French monarch Charles X; “Death and All His Friends” has him begging, “So come over, just be patient, and don’t worry” to no one in particular

Liquid latex is the new twist and old practice of body painting. This idea is very popular on movies, which can be use as costuming effects, also for music videos or even on the fetish dance club scene.

BEFORE GETTING STARTED.

Patch test first the liquid latex to see if there is any allergic reaction. Testing can be done by painting a small area on the arms or legs. Observe it for a couple of hours and then remove to see if there is any reddening, irritation or undue skin sensation. A slight itching may be normal but if there is a persistent, uncomfortable sensation, discontinue using it.

Another reminder is that liquid latex absorbs anything that is made of cloth or with a fabric surface. Beneath the paiting areas, put some sort of plastic tarp, drop cloth or non-absorbent like tile. Wear old or protective clothes when doing it.

Liquid latex contains a small amount of ammonia, let the container be open for a few minutes before starting to get rid of the smell. The best brush to use is the foam and rollers.

LETS DO IT.

First, shave or trimmed-short the hairy parts of your body which you are going to paint. Then apply a liberal amount of body lotion, rub it well and let it dry. If the latex is going to be worn for a long period of time, lotion may not be necessary as the skin will perspire and loosen the latex over time.

Don’t let the two painted parts of the body touch each other, they will bind instantly and tear the latex. After it all done, the surface needs to be sealed or finished. Use a water/silicone-based polish, like on your car, or a metallic powder called STARDUST.

REMOVING IT.

To remove, cut it out safely with shears or by just pulling in order to torn. The longer the latex has been worn, the easier to pull it off the body. Apply a little lotion or oil for easily removal.

No to Coal! Renewable Energy Now!

In a joint press conference with Responsible Ilonggos for Sustainable Energy (RISE) in Iloilo City, the environment group announced that it was joining the local communities struggle to stop the construction of the coal-fired plant in Iloilo City.

“The Iloilo coal plant should not be built. We challenge President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to be true to her word and ‘assume the mantle of leadership and work to address the challenge of climate change.’” said Greenpeace Southeast Asia Climate and Energy Campaigner Jasper Inventor. “You can’t talk sustainable energy solutions while peddling coal on the side–it’s complete hypocrisy.” he added

Coal is the dirtiest, most carbon intensive of all fossil fuels. Emitting 29 percent more carbon per unit of energy than oil and 80 percent more than gas, it is one of the leading contributors to climate change. Burning coal also releases massive amounts of substances such as mercury and arsenic that are toxic to human health and create acutely detrimental effects on developing economies and hosting communities.

However, the government currently has at least eight coal-fired plants lined up for construction or expansion in the country: 165 MW in Iloilo City, Iloilo, 300 MW expansion in Pagbilao, Quezon Province, 200 MW each in Naga and Toledo Cities in Cebu, 300 MW expansion in Masinloc, Zambales, 100 MW in Concepcion, Iloilo, 300 MW in Olongapo, Zambales, and 150 MW in Sultan Kudarat.

“Coal-fired power plants already account for 36% of the country’s total CO2 emissions, it is time that the RP government gets serious about exploiting the renewable energy sources that are abundant in our country. Sun, wind and geothermal energy tapping technologies are ready to deliver, what is needed is political will to deploy them.” Inventor said.
